around the VMA's and you know,I guess I just didn't go to the
right places to get spot or theydidn't know who I was. I'm pretty
sure I reported it in Entertainment Newsthat all the guys were there. We

but with someone the elephant in wrong. Gay Hey listen, man,
the love is still there. Everybodywants to see us. Let's do it.
No one said that, Oh no, I mean they did. It's
(03:08):
really it's really kind of weird becauseyou know, the five of us,
you and you and I, Johnnyand you were the same way. Yeah,
you know, I see you,I see you, and it's like
i'll see you in three years.I see you and it's just like it
was ten fifteen years ago. Youknow, now you've got those friends around
(03:29):
you, but this is like,this is more like your family, Like
this is these are like your brothersthat are all over the world doing different
things, and we do all seeeach other. But obviously Joey and I
whore ourselves out with whatever shows wecan do together. But you know,
it's it's uh. When we getback together, it's it's just like old
(03:49):
times. And it's weird because youknow, all those years it was very
spice girly ish ye, like everybodyhad a role, like you're the sporty
one, You're the one, You'rethat one. Whatever. When we get
back together, you almost kind offall back accidentally into that your fake role,
and you have to fight your wayback out of it, like,
hey, listen, I'm not justa crazy one. I'm actually kind of
(04:12):
cool, you know strange. Itwas just crazy to watch the buzz And
that's why when I hit you,I'm like, I don't know what you
can tell me, but whatever youhave to say, you know, hit
me up. And because because youalways have, you've always given us access
to everything. So the ball whenyou guys did that. Next day,
we're talking to you, you know, Yeah, It's it's crazy because it's
(04:32):
one of those things that, like, you know, I had so many
people I've got you know, wemake radio friends, you know, of
course, not not as close asI am with you guys, but you
know I have friends texted or textedme going hey man, can you just
share your location? And and youknow, I'm sitting there thinking to myself,
like this is still like there's stilla buzz. Yeah. Yeah.
(04:56):
We were standing back stage. Theysplit us up, Joey Lands and just
were on one side and me andjac were on the other side, and
we're sitting there and right before youknow, they introduced us to go out.
I looked at Jac and I'm like, you think people are gonna know
who we are, you know,and not to be not to be like,
you know, trying to down myselfor make us into something else.
But you have no idea, likewe could have walked out on stage and
(05:19):
it could have been a bunch ofmillennials going, who are those guys?
Yeah? Yeah, And it's justthat weird feeling of we didn't know how
it was going to be accepted.And it's a new day and age of
you know, internet, and youguys didn't have social media when you guys
were in sync the first time around. So now you get to go see
all the comments. But everything I'veseen is possibly not seen anyone saying anything
(05:42):
negative. You know. Yeah,but but you know, you know how
this business, of course it isright now. It's gonna be real positive
right now. But if anything godown, you know, it's like we
got to worry about, you know, every little thing because they're gonna want
to rip you right right down again. And that sucks. Yea. Even
after after they were staying on theother side, Uh, Justin was talking
(06:03):
to Megan the that went viral lastnight? All right, so what was
it? You were there? Chriswas saying, stallion. They were they
were joking around there. She wentwent up and had her makeup people there
or something, and they were alldoing her up and Justin walked over like,
hey, do me now, andshe turned and looked and realized it
(06:26):
was just and freaked like she putto the tailor slip and just freaked out,
and she was wagging her finger athim and she was like, no,
not like this, I can't meetyou like this, yeah, meeting.
So when people saw that, everybodywas like, oh, they're getting
into a fight or something. Andit's crazy to be on this side of
things again because we're in the vantalking about it on the way back and
(06:47):
just was like, this is kindof a thing right now. So he
ended up after we had dinner goingout to see her, you know,
to take a picture with her.So everybody she called him and was like,
hey, we need to get together, we need to can picture.
That's crazy. People think we werefighting. That's what I mean. Like
back in this in this thing again, it's instant, yeah, mega.
(07:10):
You know, every every little thingyou do coincidentally and you play, you
know, it gets blown out ofproportion and it's the summest little things that
you don't realize. But everybody wantsthese details and everybody wants this drama or
you know, this non drama orwhatever it is. So having that happen,
it was just like I'm like,is this really a thing? Justice
(07:30):
is like, dude, this iscrazy. This is like Chris, how
long how long will you have?Because I need to play some some commercials?
Can you can you hold out asecond, or you gotta go.

(07:55):
Johnny's house more next saying Chris,you're in You're You're still in New York.

a dad, You've been taking outthe trash, you've been hanging out with
a kid. How was it foryou to get back in there and justin
and justin explain to you that,Yo, this is how it's changed.
(08:18):
How was it for you? Wasthe surreal for a minute? Uh?
You know, it's kind of funnybecause you know, I think you're you're
My mental has definitely changed. Youknow, We've had all this time and
like you said, it's a newera. There's all these you know,
TikTok, yeah, Instagram, there'sall these other things you worry about rather
than I mean, we were toMTV Music Awards, and I don't remember
(08:41):
the last time I saw a musicvideo. You know, it was like,
yeah, back in our day,you spent millions of dollars to the
music video so it could be playingon MTV, so you could get the
promo, you could do whatever.Yea. Now they're like, oh no,
we're just gonna do a little toTikTok. By the way, hey,
Brian, I didn't. I Itotally was talking all about Johnny and
(09:01):
I totally forgot Bryan. No,Johnny's always get Johnny always gets the love.
I get it. It's fine.He's like, that's cool. But
anyways, there was like, youknow, being around this whole thing again,
and and especially now that I dohave a five year old who was
very you know, coherent and arryand YouTube, you know, watching all
(09:24):
these things. It's it's insane becausemy priority used to be, Oh cool,
I'm in New York. I'm gonnaparty till about six o'clock in the
morning and stagger into the next potwhatever's night. We went out, we
had a we had a dinner.We had a lot of great people around
us, but it was all friendsand family. Then we all went home.
We had to go take a picturewith Megan. But it was like,
(09:48):
it's just it's it's a different,different place, you know, I'm
not I'm looking at New York like, oh man, I wish my kids
were here. This would be sofun to go to this yeah here with
him again. And you know,it just changes things. It puts things
into a different perspective for sure.So if you if you, I mean
you guys said you said, youknow, you guys didn't even talk about
getting back together or anything like that. But could you see yourself if I
(10:09):
mean, in the world the environmentis you gotta stand Chris. I mean,
you're a humble guy and you've beenout of scene for a while,
but you guys, at one pointwas the biggest band in the world,
in the whole world. So couldyou see yourself under this climate, on
this climate doing it again? Okay, I don't think I officially said.
I didn't say we weren't getting backtogether. No, I said, you
(10:31):
didn't talk about it. You didn'tsay you would get back together. I
mean there was there was there There'salways discussion. I mean there was stuff.
Well, the hard thing is thehard thing is with everything that's going
on right now, there's there's alot that we can't talk about. And
there's a lot, especially especially witha fan, because to me especially and
(10:52):
I know to the other guys,it's like, the fans are what have
kept up relevant. Yes, youthe fans are the ones that have been,
you know, bringing this out somuch so that I think, you
know, if there was to doanything or something, you know, going
on that you know, one ofthe main things that I was talking to
my people about was, you know, we we've got to do something for
(11:15):
them, because those are those arethe kids, not kids, those parents,
those are parents now that kept keptit going, kept it burning.
You know. When I was doinga boy band review in Alaska, you
know, they were the ones going, hey, you know, I can't
wait. You know, we're we'rehere for you. We we love you
(11:35):
guys, We're here, We're gonnayou know, take out our four oh
one case. You know that thattype of that type of of of fandom
and those people, I mean youhear people always thanking their fans and saying
oh, thank you to the fansor whatever. But I can tell you,
I mean we would I would beno, we would be nobody now
because they really have kept this torchgoing and they really kept it interest there
(12:00):
and and it's like we have tolike something something. That's why it's crazy
when you were like scared that theVMA's like the millennials would be like,
who the heck is that? Becauselike, I'm a millennial grew up listening
to you guys and everything, andwe're keeping it going with my five year
old and like the Denziers, Soit's like, you know, don't be
scared, Chris, And it's noteven that. Listen, I'm a fan
(12:20):
of your work with the fairly ourparents to the show. I am.
Yes, I had it, yes, yes, my shiny teeth at me.
I don't know how many times Isang that song grow and I literally
had a freak out moment right beforeshe got on the line something. Chris,
I'm like, come Dawn. Wehad to tell her to not hold
(12:41):
onto your phone number and check youlater. Yeah. Well that's that's that's
kind of That's kind of the weirdthing too, is you know, we
walk out there and and it's thefive of us that you know, some
people might be looking at you,no, hey, is why is that
guy that's on Impractical Jokers on therewith that dude that was that big celebrity
(13:01):
big brother, you know, withthat with that guy that does the Meal
Mixed commercial and justin Timberlains everybody thatYeah, yeah, Dustin's got all these
crazy weird friends. It's like acomic con up there. But every time
your name is attached to anything,literally my phone blows up. If you're
going to be in town for anything, whether it's Joey for Tone and Friends
(13:22):
or you know, your pop twothousand things, like everyone that I know
hits me up and it's like,how can I please get there? Yeah?
And you know, I love youguys, of course appreciate you guys.
And of course you know Johnny,you and Brian and you always make
an effort with whatever we're doing tocome out and of course you know,
say hello, and you know,business aside. You're not there for radio
(13:43):
stuff, just to hang out andand it's always good, you know,
I always I always miss my friendsin Orlando. And it's crazy because it
was a great, great time.And you know, now, you know,
we're starting new chapters all over.I know, here, here's a
crazy thing. And I'm not takinganything away from the VMA's. There wasn't
a buzz. There wasn't a buzzabout it until the rumor were that you
(14:05):
guys are gonna get back together.It was like, okay, it's a
strike. You know, people gonnastrike, they're putting our show on.
But when the buzz happened that inSync could be reuniting for this, it
brought that old school MTV VMA vibeback. You know, it was kind
of crazy to see it. Well, there's also there's also that and and
another reason I was standing there,you know, saying what I said to
(14:28):
jac was because you know, I'mlooking at it from from a weird perspective.
I'm looking at it from one ofthe guys in the band. Yeah.
So my last twenty years has beenhey, man, it's so good
to see you. When are youguys getting back together? Hey, it's
so good to see When are yougetting back together? So to me,
that's all I hear. Yeah.So to me, I'm like, oh
my god, this is gonna becrazy. Everybody I mean asked me when
(14:48):
we was getting back together, thatcould just be everybody on me. You
know, that couldn't be the world'slike we don't we don't care, man,
whatever, do whatever you want.It's like, yes, you know,
so from my perspective, it's weird, and I mean from the five
of us perspective, it's weird.So getting together it was like, you
know, let's we don't know howthis is gonna happen. Yeah, but
(15:09):
anyway you look at it, therewas some great moments. There's some great
moments beforehand, sitting around just talkingabout it, taking pictures together and not
knowing where to go, Like we'resitting there, where do you want to
stand? I'm like, we hadn'tdone this in twenty years. Stand here?
Do I go on the front becauseI'm the short one? Just like,
okay, I'll get in the middle. You know. It's like all
like jokes and like like having fun, and it was like it's weird.
(15:35):
It's awesome. Man. I appreciateyou calling and because I know you had
some some press to do today andI appreciate you. Anytime, man,
something's going on, you always reachback to me, and I appreciate that
brother. You know that, ofcourse, and I appreciate you guys.

When I started radio, was inpromotions for their last tour, so they
(15:58):
were the biggest band in the world. You said there was ten thousand people
standing outside of playing in Hollywood tryingto get in to have chicken tenders with
them. Yes, And then forme it's wild because fast forward three or
four years after, you know,Justin's doing his thing. Now I'm friends
with them. We're sitting at abar downtown just having drinks and now you
know, we say something on theradio when we get a text that's just
so wild. They're such a goodguys. Yeah, I mean, the
thing is they started here and theynever forgot you know, where they came
(16:22):
from. And that's a cool thing. And that was in Sync. And
if something's go down, believe me, we'll let you know. First.

like you said, it's a newera. There's all these you know,
TikTok, yeah, Instagram, there'sall these other things you worry about rather
than I mean, we were toMTV Music Awards, and I don't remember
(08:41):
the last time I saw a musicvideo. You know, it was like,
yeah, back in our day,you spent millions of dollars to the
music video so it could be playingon MTV, so you could get the
promo, you could do whatever.Yea. Now they're like, oh no,
we're just gonna do a little toTikTok. By the way, hey,
Brian, I didn't. I Itotally was talking all about Johnny and
(09:01):
I totally forgot Bryan. No,Johnny's always get Johnny always gets the love.
I get it. It's fine.He's like, that's cool. But
anyways, there was like, youknow, being around this whole thing again,
and and especially now that I dohave a five year old who was
very you know, coherent and arryand YouTube, you know, watching all
(09:24):
these things. It's it's insane becausemy priority used to be, Oh cool,
I'm in New York. I'm gonnaparty till about six o'clock in the
morning and stagger into the next potwhatever's night. We went out, we
had a we had a dinner.We had a lot of great people around
us, but it was all friendsand family. Then we all went home.
We had to go take a picturewith Megan. But it was like,
(09:48):
it's just it's it's a different,different place, you know, I'm
not I'm looking at New York like, oh man, I wish my kids
were here. This would be sofun to go to this yeah here with
him again. And you know,it just changes things. It puts things
into a different perspective for sure.So if you if you, I mean
you guys said you said, youknow, you guys didn't even talk about
getting back together or anything like that. But could you see yourself if I
(10:09):
mean, in the world the environmentis you gotta stand Chris. I mean,
you're a humble guy and you've beenout of scene for a while,
but you guys, at one pointwas the biggest band in the world,
in the whole world. So couldyou see yourself under this climate, on
this climate doing it again? Okay, I don't think I officially said.
I didn't say we weren't getting backtogether. No, I said, you
(10:31):
didn't talk about it. You didn'tsay you would get back together. I
mean there was there was there There'salways discussion. I mean there was stuff.
Well, the hard thing is thehard thing is with everything that's going
on right now, there's there's alot that we can't talk about. And
there's a lot, especially especially witha fan, because to me especially and
(10:52):
I know to the other guys,it's like, the fans are what have
kept up relevant. Yes, youthe fans are the ones that have been,
you know, bringing this out somuch so that I think, you
know, if there was to doanything or something, you know, going
on that you know, one ofthe main things that I was talking to
my people about was, you know, we we've got to do something for
(11:15):
them, because those are those arethe kids, not kids, those parents,
those are parents now that kept keptit going, kept it burning.
You know. When I was doinga boy band review in Alaska, you
know, they were the ones going, hey, you know, I can't
wait. You know, we're we'rehere for you. We we love you
(11:35):
guys, We're here, We're gonnayou know, take out our four oh
one case. You know that thattype of that type of of of fandom
and those people, I mean youhear people always thanking their fans and saying
oh, thank you to the fansor whatever. But I can tell you,
I mean we would I would beno, we would be nobody now
because they really have kept this torchgoing and they really kept it interest there
(12:00):
and and it's like we have tolike something something. That's why it's crazy
when you were like scared that theVMA's like the millennials would be like,
who the heck is that? Becauselike, I'm a millennial grew up listening
to you guys and everything, andwe're keeping it going with my five year
old and like the Denziers, Soit's like, you know, don't be
scared, Chris, And it's noteven that. Listen, I'm a fan
(12:20):
of your work with the fairly ourparents to the show. I am.
Yes, I had it, yes, yes, my shiny teeth at me.
I don't know how many times Isang that song grow and I literally
had a freak out moment right beforeshe got on the line something. Chris,
I'm like, come Dawn. Wehad to tell her to not hold
(12:41):
onto your phone number and check youlater. Yeah. Well that's that's that's
kind of That's kind of the weirdthing too, is you know, we
walk out there and and it's thefive of us that you know, some
people might be looking at you,no, hey, is why is that
guy that's on Impractical Jokers on therewith that dude that was that big celebrity
(13:01):
big brother, you know, withthat with that guy that does the Meal
Mixed commercial and justin Timberlains everybody thatYeah, yeah, Dustin's got all these
crazy weird friends. It's like acomic con up there. But every time
your name is attached to anything,literally my phone blows up. If you're
going to be in town for anything, whether it's Joey for Tone and Friends
(13:22):
or you know, your pop twothousand things, like everyone that I know
hits me up and it's like,how can I please get there? Yeah?
And you know, I love youguys, of course appreciate you guys.
And of course you know Johnny,you and Brian and you always make
an effort with whatever we're doing tocome out and of course you know,
say hello, and you know,business aside. You're not there for radio
(13:43):
stuff, just to hang out andand it's always good, you know,
I always I always miss my friendsin Orlando. And it's crazy because it
was a great, great time.And you know, now, you know,
we're starting new chapters all over.I know, here, here's a
crazy thing. And I'm not takinganything away from the VMA's. There wasn't
a buzz. There wasn't a buzzabout it until the rumor were that you
(14:05):
guys are gonna get back together.It was like, okay, it's a
strike. You know, people gonnastrike, they're putting our show on.
But when the buzz happened that inSync could be reuniting for this, it
brought that old school MTV VMA vibeback. You know, it was kind
of crazy to see it. Well, there's also there's also that and and
another reason I was standing there,you know, saying what I said to
(14:28):
jac was because you know, I'mlooking at it from from a weird perspective.
I'm looking at it from one ofthe guys in the band. Yeah.
So my last twenty years has beenhey, man, it's so good
to see you. When are youguys getting back together? Hey, it's
so good to see When are yougetting back together? So to me,
that's all I hear. Yeah.So to me, I'm like, oh
my god, this is gonna becrazy. Everybody I mean asked me when
(14:48):
we was getting back together, thatcould just be everybody on me. You
know, that couldn't be the world'slike we don't we don't care, man,
whatever, do whatever you want.It's like, yes, you know,
so from my perspective, it's weird, and I mean from the five
of us perspective, it's weird.So getting together it was like, you
know, let's we don't know howthis is gonna happen. Yeah, but
(15:09):
anyway you look at it, therewas some great moments. There's some great
moments beforehand, sitting around just talkingabout it, taking pictures together and not
knowing where to go, Like we'resitting there, where do you want to
stand? I'm like, we hadn'tdone this in twenty years. Stand here?
Do I go on the front becauseI'm the short one? Just like,
okay, I'll get in the middle. You know. It's like all
like jokes and like like having fun, and it was like it's weird.
(15:35):
It's awesome. Man. I appreciateyou calling and because I know you had
some some press to do today andI appreciate you. Anytime, man,
something's going on, you always reachback to me, and I appreciate that

kop Patrick Men, Sync. I'mtelling you that is amazing. Dude.
When I started radio, was inpromotions for their last tour, so they
(15:58):
were the biggest band in the world. You said there was ten thousand people
standing outside of playing in Hollywood tryingto get in to have chicken tenders with
them. Yes, And then forme it's wild because fast forward three or
four years after, you know,Justin's doing his thing. Now I'm friends
with them. We're sitting at abar downtown just having drinks and now you
know, we say something on theradio when we get a text that's just
so wild. They're such a goodguys. Yeah, I mean, the
thing is they started here and theynever forgot you know, where they came
(16:22):
from. And that's a cool thing. And that was in Sync. And
if something's go down, believe me, we'll let you know. First.
